Camo That Innovates

Camo That’s Informed By Science

Effective visual camouflage renders the wearer indistinguishable from background objects. Most camouflage patterns on the market attempt to disguise the body shape and match the color palette and patterns of the environment. At FORLOH, we have developed a more scientific approach – based on an animal’s visual processing, not what looks good to the human eye. We use a high-contrast larger pattern to break up your outline, and then add digital "texture" patterns to render you virtually undetectable to your prey.

Waterfowl Marsh Darker Areas Below Treeline Forest Wetlands

Deep Cover

Deep Cover’s darker hues are intended for use in heavy canopy and help you disappear at 40 yards or less. This is an ideal choice for bowhunters needing to remain undetected at close proximity.. Fantastic for waterfowl hunting in the wetlands as well.

ABOVE TREELINE DESERT PLAINS TUNDRA UPLAND BIRD OPEN AREAS

Exposed

The Exposed pattern makes you virtually invisible at 75 yards or more, blurring your form into the landscape at distance to avoid detection. Great in later seasons, at higher altitudes and in barren landscapes. Also ideal for upland bird hunters.

ABOVE TREELINE OPEN MARSH FIELDS UNDERBRUSH WOODED BRIARS

Marshfield

The MarshField camo pattern makes you virtually invisible at 75 yards or more, blurring your form into the landscape at a distance to avoid detection. Providing superior swamp camo, it’s great for later seasons, late-season wooded treelines, open marsh fields, and heavy underbrush areas.

SNOWY HUNT CONDITION ICE FISHING LATE SEASON WATERFOW

Snowfall

Snowfall contains multiple tones of white and also features shades of brown to blend harmoniously with dead grass and snow covered rock. The subtle disruptive coloration keeps the eye tracking across the wearer, even for animals with full color vision.

Sea Clear

Like humans, fish see in color, especially those that live in shallow water or near the surface where all colors are visible. FORLOH's Sea Clear Camo uses subtle disruptive coloration that allows the wearer to blend in with the sky, making it difficult for fish to spot them.

Our Unique Patterns

At FORLOH we focus on two interrelated but logically distinct mechanisms of effective camouflage.These are the foundation of anti-predator defenses.

01 Crypsis

Background pattern and color palette matching, to prevent object recognition

02 Distruptive Discoloration

Background pattern and color palette matching, to prevent object recognitionBold contrasting colors to disguise form and shape

how animals process visual information

To fully understand the critical role of well-engineered camo, our research started with how an animal’s visual system receives signals. In short, an animal goes through the following process in a matter of seconds. It is in these few seconds where FORLOH’s innovative camouflage excels, making its wearer indistinguishable from their environment.

The animal will normally detect movement as a primary stimuli.

The animal will concentrate their vision at that stimuli, analysing the visual information.

The animal will make a series of decisions based on coloration and object recognition. Specifically looking for natural (eyes) & non-natural stimuli (straight lines like zippers or block color knee pads) on the target.

The animal will then combine:

Spatial scales of the target (is this the size of a predator? Are its patterns a natural scale?)

Spatial coincidence of the target, specifically looking at the edge of the target (is this the shape of a predator?)

Flee or not.

All of this happens in a matter of seconds. It is these crucial seconds of decision making that FORLOH R&D team have focused on. Our camouflage patterns work with this decision making process in mind, to visually make our hunters indistinguishable at varying distances, in varying conditions. Especially in those few seconds of decision making by the prey.
